I’ve always found Remember the Milk to be a very interesting and useful application/website. I specially love its simplicity, although that’s exactly what some people don’t like about it, some say it lacks features and point Toodledo as a better alternative. I think simple is good; simple is better. Specially if you are not used to todo lists and you want to get used to them to start getting organized. I recently discovered it also has gmail integration, which I find really cool (specially now that I’m trying to switch to gmail as my email client, and forget about Thunderbird).
Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter how much I like remember the milk (I even have a pro account), I barely used it. The reason? the lack of a mobile application (remember I’m an E71 user, and soon a N97 user…although maybe I’ll be a palm pre or android user one day)….I have an ipod touch, for which there is an rtm app, but I want one for my phone (and no, I won’t be getting an iphone). I hope one day, somebody looks at the nokia s60 (symbian) users and give us a hand with some better and cooler apps, specially, a good todo app. Until then, I can only dream (or use gmail or the mobile site).
I realize this post has no point other than mentioning that remember the milk is cool….but yes, that was all I wanted to say.

ReplyDeleteI think that your article says more than you may think. I'm a Symbian user as well (and also maybe Android/Palm-pre in the future!) and this is what forces me _not_ to use RememberTheMilk although I find this is a great web service.
Thanks for your advice on Toodledo. This is going to be my into-deep-research-and-IWantToLearnAboutIT-activity for today :-)
I think nokia/symbian should really wake up and improved their OS as a development platform.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I love about the pre is that you use javascript/html/css to develop apps. On one side, that means they can't be too complex, but on the other side, that means you can develop applications easily without getting to know complicated languages (as C++ in the case of symbian).
Oh, and thanks for your comment :)
